Small Business VoIP Service - a PBX may be not the answer

---

If you are looking for a small business VoIP service we would like to help you with a collection of information that will hopefully be of assistance.

Modern business phone systems have evolved into full blown networked computer systems. They are no longer just a box of circuit boards that can be left to click away in a basement or cupboard. They require on-going attention on a regular basis. Such requirements often conflict with the ideal small business phone system envisaged by SMBs. They want a solution that:

(a) Does not demand daily attention
(b) Has the flexibility to accommodate change, and
(c) No surprises, especially unexpected costs and charges.

A hosted or managed VoIP service is one way of reconciling these contradictions.

All VoIP phone systems involve a PBX or switch that is either located in the premises of the end user or at the premises of a service provider.
